Chapter

The New Mexico OSGeo chapter is a collaboration envisioned by members from commercial, local government, and academic institutions in Albuquerque, NM.

We would like any user or developer of geospatial software in New Mexico who believes in the advantages of open source to join our numbers. If you are not familiar with open source, check out some of the links below

Our core members are in Albuquerque, but one of our primary reasons for formation is to collaborate with people everywhere who are interested in contributing to our projects.

Our primary language is English but we welcome members to work in or translate projects into Spanish or any of the various American Indian languages in the Southwest.

Mission

In addition to OSGeo's general mission, the local New Mexico chapter aims to:

Provide a central server to host open source geospatial projects. Projects must be open source (or equivalent rights) to be hosted, but do not have to be polished software applications. They can be useful algorithms, scripts, spreadsheets, or other tools for using geospatial data.

Provide a network for collaboration between our developers and experts and users around the world, including contact information for our members, mailing lists, and discussion boards.

Actively inform organizations in New Mexico that express an interest in open source geospatial software about OSGeo.

Projects
